Hi guys.
I'm after a little advice regarding my new build. In running the i5 4690k. Its probably gunna run at clock speed till everything is up and running smoothly. Then I plan on over clocking it. Nothing major, just a moderate amount until I'm comfortable doing it an then I might push it a little harder. The case I have is the Cosair 250D. And I'm wondering which way you guys think is the best to setup the fans. I've seen lots of videos about mounting the PSU upside down so it draws in its own cool air. And different fan setups on the 240mm radiator. The water cooler I'm using is the Cool Master Nepton 240mm.
I was thinking the front fan should be an in take (its the standard 140mm supplied with the case). And the radiator setup as an exhaust. But I'm just wondering which set up would give me more proformance for overclocking the CPU. And is it worth upgrading the front fan to a 200mm (or is it 180mm)?
With all the different options its left me a little confused about which way gives more performance. Or if it gives anything noticeable at all.
Thanks as ever for the comments / advice.
